There a lot of “celebrities” who baffle me as to why they are worth even a moment of our consideration or attention. They have little or no talent and they have not contributed anything of consequence to society. Yet, we can’t get away from them. Here is my list of some of the celebrities I would like to see less of in 2009.

Britney Spears: The lights are on but there are no signs of intelligent life. She is a mediocre singer, who, no doubt, has the best agent and/or manger in the whole wide world because she is everywhere.

Miley Syrus: Minor talent but attitude far above and beyond her young and tender 16 years. Like Britney Spears, Miley isn’t much of a vocalist (both got their start on the Disney channel) but, unlike Britney, apparently this one can’t even dance. Remember Mily Vanily who were discovered to lip syncing their songs to other people singing? Miley was discovered to have someone else dance in her place during her live concert performances. A look-alike body double cleverly switched places with her on stage during dance numbers.

Jonas Brothers: I have heard some of their “music.” Not by choice, but because, like Miley Syrus, they keep popping up on television shows that are aimed at more mature audiences then their pre-puberty fan base. Their music is not very melodic and they do not have very good voices. The Jonas Brothers are just right for the Disney channel, where they will soon have their own show.

Paris Hilton: A spoiled rich party girl, who has no talent of any kind other than a knack for washing cars. From all evidence she is no rocket scientist but perhaps a brain donor, which would explain a lot.

The Kardashians (pictured): I had to Google them to find out how and why these women were suddenly celebrities when one of them showed up as a “star” on this season’s “Dancing with the Stars.” Daughters of a prominent L.A. attorney who passed away and left them money, the girls opened a chic women’s boutique where Paris Hilton shops. They hooked up and by association assimilation the Kardashians are now also celebrities. People generally feel comfortable being around others with whom they share similarities. The Kardashians and Paris Hilton apparently have a lot in common.

Regis Philbin: One of the biggest no talent money makers in Hollywood since Ed McMahon. Regis became a celebrity by talking to celebrities. He is obviously overwhelmed by his own perception of his prominence.
